It seems as though the federal Government may finally have the same mentality that end-users have when it comes to access control technology in 2011..."rent rather than own."
The intent is for the Government to realize the value of cloud computing and Software as a service (SaaS) by requiring agencies to evaluate safe, secure, cloud computing options before making any new investments.
SaaS provides a model that makes investing in security technologies a lot more palatable.
- Organizations don't have to have staff to maintain the conventional on-site, hosted systems.
- Customers can pay for what they use.
- Customers can manage their security budgets more freely
- Successful business opportunities can be created with upgrades from the standard basic managed access control system.
- SaaS systems are easier to deploy than traditional systems.
